First, you must journey into the blackest heart of /d/, and from there retrieve one hentai image that is not anatomically impossible.
Then, you must bait a 419 scammer, and deceive him into crossing the border into the Congo with contraband clearly visible upon his person.
Finally, you will come to the land of Realization, wherein you will find a locked trunk. With the key of Bitter Experience, you must open the lock and tell us what secret lies within.
Only upon delivering unto us this Great Truth shall you be forgiven, and accepted into our great and secret cabal of internet smartasses.

The thing that makes bitcoin "unique" — the crypto element — really isn't. It's just a completely arbitrary enforced scarcity through arbitrary conversion of electricity into heat and various dedicated electrical components into burnt out scrap. What actually makes it unique is how this has created a sort of a vehicle mechanism for completely anonymous laundering transfers between two points.

Basically, bitcoin is a good vehicle right now for trades of illegal goods. And it is from that which it derives most of its value, but only alongside a cadre of ideological investors who really seriously invest into bitcoin as The Revolution.

It's amazing.

Funny because it's true.
